This function enables you to search for a Keystone Symposia meeting by any word in the meeting title, location, organizer names, meeting summary or sessions (including session names, speaker names and talk titles).

SEARCHING BY A NAME: If you are searching based on a person's name, it is best to enter only part of the name, OR to enter the First Name, the word 'AND', and the Last Name, like this: "James AND Aiken".

KEYWORD(S) ENTERED

WOULD RETURN...

Aiken

James Aiken, Jim Aiken, Robert Aiken, Walter Aikenstein

James AND Aiken

James Aiken, James W. Aiken, James R. AikenWould NOT find: Jim Aiken, Robert Aiken, James Taylor

James OR Aiken

James Aiken, James W. Aiken, James R. Aiken, Jim Aiken, Robert Aiken, James Taylor, James Johnson, Jesse James

We often list the person's full name with the Middle Initial.See 'Combined Words' below for more details.

Searches on the Keystone Symposia website can be modified to narrow or expand your search criteria using the terms listed below.

TERM

USE

EXAMPLE

AND

Used to narrow your search.

Cancer AND MicroRNA - would return any meetings/abstracts with both 'Cancer' and 'MicroRNA'. If just one of these terms exist, the meeting/abstract would not be returned in the search. See NOTE below

OR

Used to expand your search.

Cancer OR MicroRNA - would return any meetings/abstracts with either 'Cancer' or 'MicroRNA'. If just one of these terms exist, the meeting/abstract would be returned in the search. See NOTE below

You may use commas instead of the word OR...so 'Cancer OR MicroRNA' is the same as 'Cancer, MicroRNA'.

NOT

Used to narrow your search.

Cancer NOT MicroRNA - would return any meetings/abstracts with 'Cancer' but not 'MicroRNA'. If both of these terms exist, the meeting/abstract would not be returned in the search. See NOTE below

Combined Words

Used to narrow your search.

Cancer MicroRNA - would return any meetings/abstracts with 'Cancer MicroRNA', but not meetings with only 'Cancer', or only 'MicroRNA', or both words...it is expecting to find the term 'Cancer MicroRNA' which is unlikely. The better way to search would be to use 'Cancer AND MicroRNA' or 'Cancer OR MicroRNA', depending on what you were searching for. See NOTE below

Wildcards

Asterisk (*) - Used to expand your search...helpful if you know a part of a word, or part of a name you are looking for.

By default, any keyword you enter on the Keystone Symposia website will be 'wildcarded', so there is no need to enter a special character at the end of your term, such as an asterisk.

NOTE: When using 'AND', 'OR', and 'NOT', the FIRST word must be an exact match...

For example, searching for "Canc AND MicroRNA" is not the same search as "Cancer AND MicroRNA"; the first search would NOT return records with 'Cancer', only the second search would because the full word Cancer was typed.

Summary of Meeting:Immunization remains one of the most effective preventive public health measures, the indirect effects of which are considered a global public good with an impressive net return over costs. Vaccines have contributed to “final public good”: eradication of two viruses and regional elimination of a half dozen or more other pathogens. The development of new vaccines, therefore, would seem an obvious priority area for use-inspired and applied biomedical research, yet the endeavor has become increasingly more challenging. The “easy vaccines have been made” belief, crowded vaccine schedules, escalating costs of full vaccination programs (particularly in cost-sensitive Gavi-eligible countries), and platforms for maternal immunization and Public Health Emergencies of International Concern have all contributed to an urgent need for new or improved approaches to the discovery, development and delivery of vaccines, particularly those that are cheaper, simpler to manufacture, and more convenient to use. The aim of this symposium is to provide a comprehensive survey of emerging tools from the most upstream antigen/vaccine discovery, to active and passive immunization platforms, clinical trials, and manufacturing, formulation and delivery, the desired outcome of which is to provide a forum for an integrated discussion on how best to meet the increasing challenges faced by the scientific community’s efforts in new vaccine development. The Keystone Symposia conference on “Emerging Technologies in Vaccine Discovery and Development” has been specifically paired with the conference on “HIV Vaccines” since discovering, developing and delivering an effective HIV vaccine may be one that benefits most from novel technologies, including new tools in structural immunology and interrogating human immune responses.

The meeting will begin on Sunday, January 28 with
registration from 16:00 to 20:00 and a welcome mixer from 18:00 to 20:00.
Conference events conclude on Thursday, February 1 with a
closing plenary session from 17:00 to 19:00,
followed by a social hour and entertainment. We recommend return travel
on Friday, February 2 in order to fully experience the meeting.
